Carlos Moro Finca Las Marcas 2018

CATA's notes:

• Color : Pale straw yellow, with bright green edges. Clean and very bright.
• Nose : Frank, elegant and of great complexity. Multiple and harmonious nuances, tropical aromas of passion fruit and mango, between aniseed herbaceous and white flowers, in perfect balance with the aromas of the barrel, with subtle clove, vanilla, toffee and cedar wood.
• Mouth : Very elegant and velvety, with a lively acidity that makes it fresh and unctuous, with excellent sensations of citrus aromas, subtle tropical, light smoked, elegant balsamic, with a long, fresh, lively and very balanced finish.
